How do I set an elements[xxxx].text value

Hi All,
Does anyone know of a way that I can set the .text value of a variable element?
I determine the element name but when I use it to set the .text I get an “property undefined error”

// This works
elements["btn_Abbey"].text = "Hello";

// undefined property text
cElement = "btn_Abbey";
elements[cElement].text = "Hello";

Anyone any thoughts?
Thanks
Caroline

Do you have declare cElement with var ?

yes I do

Try this:

var cElement = “btn_Abbey”
var oElement = elements[cElement]
oElement.text = “Hello”

Many thanks Gianluca that works, it does however still appear as a warning in the code which is a little annoying but I can certainly live with it.

It may be convenient to use the JSDoc to remove the alert.
I’m glad to essert helpful.
